Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I think this is all an excellent project and look forward to incorporating your work into the installation when the time comes. This comes at a particularly advantageous time as I'm also working with the Japanese developers on bringing in their translations and the framework we're building will handle 3 languages just as easily as it will 2. - Jordan > Dear FreeBSD: > > I'm offering to help translate FreeBSD documentation, especially the > installation instructions, into Spanish.
